Welcome to the Shaline show. Shaline is a New York Times best-selling author celebrity fitness trainer and obsessed with helping you live your dream life.

Hey there. Happy New Year. This podcast is actually something that I think you'll find helpful after any big event like whether that's a wedding or the birth of a child,

some big exciting thing that you've been anticipating all year and then it's over and then you just feel, well you feel weird.

This episode has been designed to help you deal with that effectively, to cope with it and most of all to know it's normal.

So thank you so much for tuning in and before I begin I just want to say it's been a wonderful year.

I can't thank you enough for your support and telling people about this podcast.

Please thank your spouse or your boyfriend or girlfriend, whoever it is, it's been having to deal with my voice and you saying, well, Shaline said, I get it and I have people who I love listening to on podcast too.

It's cool to hear your speak pipe messages and your tweets and your Facebook messages letting me know the listen to my podcast especially over those long trips that many of us tend to spend in the car over the holidays.

So truly thank you so much for your reviews that you've written on iTunes but you know even more important than that.

Thanks for just jumping on Periscope or Facebook or wherever you are in social media.

Thanks for jumping on and letting me know the listen to the podcast.

The first thing I have to let you know is that this is so normal.

It's normal. Here's why you feel weird.

Number one, you have not been getting up at the same time.

You haven't been going to bed at the same time.

You haven't been in your normal routine in terms of your eating, your exercise and your daily activities.

You see, we're creatures of habit.

We crave and we thrive off of routine, right?

Like, we want to wake up at the same time each day and we want to kind of go to bed at the same time.

We want to eat a lot of the same foods because it makes us feel like we're in control.

It helps us to understand that there's some normalcy.

It helps us to predict and when we're able to predict an outcome, we feel safe.
